Richard W. "Rick" Kennedy

The Holyoke High School class of 1975 had our 5oth reunion in September of 2025. We had a slide presentation of all our classmates that are deceased. When Rick's picture was show he got a great round of applause and cheering because of the love we all had for him I miss you Rick. May you rest in peace.

Another year gone by. Still can't really fathom it. Seems impossible. We had a ritual: swimming in the pool wherever we were staying, going to Chipotle for dinner and then to Friendley's for ice cream. Loved catching up with Rick on who's doing what, where they're at. He was the repository of many memories that eluded me. He might say, "Remember that time we were with Ed and we ....." Something I had forgotten about. Also wth Eddie died countless memories. Still think about you almost every day.

Can't believe it's been a whole year. Rick took us to the bus station last year. Even tho I knew more or less it would be my last time seeing him I didn't know how to say goodbye. I think I'll always regret not telling him I loved him, but we weren't comfortable hugging or saying stuff like that. Just embarrased. Now I regret it. Love you, Rick.

Can't believe Ricky is gone. We had just seen him the week before. We used to Whatsapp for years. When we got back home I started dropping him a line every evening just to stay in touch, but he wasn´t answering me. Thought he had more time. I'm probably the only one who called him Ricky. That comes from way back. Ricky was the only one who liked to play games. We used to play chess and card games. It was a lot of fun, until I realized how frequently he was winning. Loved hanging out with him...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sending love and sympathy to all of you wonderful Kennedys. I remember Ricky as a little guy when we lived two doors down from you on Nonotuck Street and I guess he´ll always be that cute little guy in my memory. Hugs to you Dick and to Sue, Karen and Margo during this sad time
